I seem to fit with the description of someone 'stuck on a plateau' and I'd love to learn more. Problem is I have no music training behind me at all, I struggle with tabs. Though I'm beginning to understand them I still have a tendancy to fall back on my tried and trusted method of closely watching fingers on frets! Music notation may as well be in chinese and I have a tough time following the lessons here.
If you're a user of Kirks package, do you think it would be a good buy for me?

thanks,

You're gonna love the package. The material isn't based on musical theory knowledge other than the basics of music theory and how that ties in to the fretboard. The rest of it is based on a mechanical understanding of the fretboard in a method that's easily communicated. I don't know where you're at with the six string, but I think you can benefit from PT if you've been on a plateau for a while. The info there is going to help you see the fretboard while a lightbulb is going off in your mind.

Your info says you've been playing for over 10 years, is this correct? Then you'll love this and be ready for this. In case that's a mistake, the info will still be very enlightening for you down the road.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
